TERRE HAUTE, IND., MARCS 30,1895

IT isn't such a bad thing to be born in Indiana after all. Ex-Congressman Wm. Springer, who was rewarded by an appointment to the judicial oirouit in Indian Territory is a native of Indiana as is Gen. Stanton, this week appointed Paymaster General of the army.

THE Louisiana sugar planters have raised $150,000 with which to start daily Republican paper in New Orleans, It is not going to fill a "long felt want," however, and will probably require about ten times the amount named to put it on its feet, if such a thing is at all possible.

NOT every candidate for presidenwould be as outspoken as was Governor McKlnley when some southern free silver people asked him if bt» would accept the Republican nomination on a free silver platform. He declared that he would not do so, but would leave the party if it should adopt such a platform. He certainly has courage with his convictions.

ONE of the municipal elections thi9 spring that will bo of interest to the people at large is that in Chicago, which takes place next Tuesday. Chicago's councils, whether Democratic or Republican, have a reputation for corruption equalled only, and certainly not surpassed, by that of the New York police force, as shown in the recent investigation. The Civio Federation has taken a hand in the oontest, and by singling out some of the candidates who have especially bad reputations, and endorsing their opponents, hope to turn down the boodler*. The civil service law is also an issue, and as both the leading candidates are advocating it, it seems likely to become a law. The leading candidates for Mayor are for the Democrats, Frank Wenter, president of the drainage board, a successful business mttn, of good reputation, and Geo. Swift, for the Republicans. The last named is also a successful business man, who was Mayor in the interim between Carter Harrison's death and the special eleotion In December, 1893. It is claimed for him that be wan fairlv elected at that time, but fraudulently counted out, and this add* a sympathetic tinge to the fight not ordinarily seen in political contests.

IN his message to congress in December, 1823, President Monroe used the following language: "We owe it to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and the allied powers, to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European power we have not interfered, and shall not interfere but with the governments which have declared their independence and maintained it, and whose independence we have, on great consideration and just principles, acknowledged, we oould not view an interposition for oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power, in any other light then as a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States." This is the most important passage In any of his numerous state documents, and gives to him fame as the author of what is known as the "Monroe dootrine." It has come to be accepted by every patriotic American as the true theory regarding the attitude of this oountry towards foreign interference on this oontinent. The administration head or administrative representative that repudiates it will be so universally condemned by his countrymen that he will never thereafter be referred to exoept with contempt.

is In progress between

the governor general of the Dominion of Canada and the government of Manitoba that may lead to a revolution in the latter province. It Is over the question of Oatholio parochial schools, whioh by aotion of the Manitoba legislature, were In 1890 abolished. The governor general has issued a positive order to the Manitoba officials to restore the schools and the Dominion government will enforce its authority. It Is said that the legislature is overwhelmingly in favor of resisting the muthofity of the Dominion government, and will resist with foroe any attempt to compel the restoration of the parochial schools. It Is the same old question of home goverment whioh lost this oountry to England a eentury or more ago and the people of the northwest territory seem as firm and united in the stand for their rights as were our forefathers. The premier of the Manitoba government aaid, referring to the governor general's order, "This is a struggle for our rights. Ws area tree

people) we will not bo »«*de slaves. We will not have the law* which we have passed deliberately and with full knowl edge of our conditions daatr*- ed by body to whom these conditions are unknown, acting without inquiry and without adequate consideration." The Catholics of the northwest province have the support of the Dominion government in their demand thai they have the right to share proportionately in any grant made out of the public funds for the purpose of education and the right of exemption of suoh Roman Catholio schools from all payment or contribution to the support of any other schools. It cost the Canadian government over eight million dollars to suppress the half breed rising iu 1885, in which Louis Riel, the leader, was put to death, and the Manitoba officials openlv threaten, that If their wishes are over ruled in this matter, their resistance will be of suoh a oharacter that if finally oompelled to suocumb to the foroe of numbers, it will be made more expensive to the government than was the up rising of 1885. Manitoba has an area of 74,000 square miles, or about twice that of the State of Indiana, and a population of 152,000, of whioh 25,000 is credited to Winnepeg, the capital. The nature of the country and

the

oharacter of the peo­

ple would enable a strong resistance, and the future developments of this peauliar oontest will be watched with interest.

BEFOBMS IN VOTING/?1

A few years ago a wave of ballot reform swept over the country, resulting in the adoption of the Australian ballot, or a modification thereof, by every state in the Union, with five exceptions These states are Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina. Tho sucoesa of the antipodean nystem has been so great that ballot re formers have been induced to go further in their efforts. A bill is pending in the Massachusetts legislature to make voting compulsory. The measure pro vides that within thirty days after an eleotion the register of votes shall compile a list of all names not ouecked as those of persons having voted, and the assessors are then to oollect a fine of $5 each from all who did not cast their votes, unless it oan be shown before the trial justice that the failure to vote was due to inability to go to the polls. This law seems to be founded on the principle that "a bird that oan sing and won't sing should be made to sing," and that a man who has a right to vote and fails to exercise it should be made to pay dearly for it. It is thoughtthat the penalty and the trouble of appearing before a justice of the peace is enough to counteract a good deal of the disinclination to vote, but it will interfere seriously with the occupation of many persons in being "good citizens." A "good" oitizen, be it remembered, is one that knows exactly how the municipal, state and national governments.should be conducted, can offer remedies guaranteed to cure all existing evils, but considers It far beneath his dignity to attend primary meetings or elections. If Massachusetts adopts such a law, and proves a success, it will serve as a model for other communities troubled with ihe citizens so lost to their rights as to fail to vote. It wouldn't be a bad idea here in Indiana.

In the line of voting reforms, too, is the new law in Australia, designed to give the voter first and second choice candidates. Australia is the home of voting reform movements, and this last one seems to be rather unique. It allows the voter to indicate his first and second ohoioe candidates by placing the figure opposite the name of his first choice and the figure 2 opposite his seoond choice. Then if the first ohoice candidate proves to be unpopular, the first choice is disregarded and the vote is given, according to the second choice, to some other candidate. By this means a great economy of votes is affeoted. Where there are three candidates the least popular candidate would fall of eleotion and the votes of his supporters would go tv one of the two remaining candidates according to the wish of the voter. In this way two minorities may become a majority.

Another reform movement is that of voting by machinery, and a very olever machine, by which a voter's wishes were reoorded and counted, was exhibited before the committees of the recent legislature, but aotion on it was postponed beoause of a doubt as to whether under the preeent constitution voting by machinery could be permitted,

The Spring Opening of the. Millinery Department of the Havens & Geddes .Co. That "love of a bonnet" is more precious to the feminine heart than gold or sliver, and the ladies of Terre Haute certainly had opportunity this week to feast their eyes on more hats and bun nets of the newest and. most fashionable designs than were ever before displayed in this oity. The oooaqion was the formal spring opening of the millinery department of the Havens A Geddes Co. Mr. C. W. Shepherd, manager of the department, has had an experience of many years in many of the largest oities—an experience that places him in touch with the largest and most exclusive eastern importers, and gives him an opportunity to secure the newest things that a man with leas experience oould not obtain, and much less appreciate. Thousands of ladies from this «ity and the surrounding cities attended the opening and were charmed by the display of dainty and exquisite novelties in the millinery line, inoluding many exclusive importations frem that centre of all fashions, Paris. The display of pattern hats was never before equalled in this city. Indeed, many of the ladies who had attended openings in Chicago, and other large cities, were profuse in their expressions of .praise, and said that in novelty and variety of designs in shapes, trimmings and ornaments they had never seen the display equalled. By special arrangement Mr. Shepherd is enabled to offer his patrons the newbst designs in hats and bonnets withih a few hours after they are shown in the eastern fashion centers. As an instance of this it may be stated that yesterdays he was able to show the very' latpst thing in New York millinery, the Anna Gould sailor, within forty-eight hours after it had been shown in the metropolis. The ladies of Terre Haute and vicinity can congratulate themselves on having here at home a millinery establishment so thoroughly up to date in all the newest things in that line.
